1940s and '50s Lee Dungarees and Workwear ads cast their illustrator's brush across many markets with very broad strokes. They spoke to the blue collar worker and the "at play" leisure seeker at the same time.

A recent eBay win: a clean copy of Kenyon Hopkins' 1966 soundtrack to Delbert Mann's film entitled Mr. Buddwing. I caught part of this film on TCM a few months ago and enjoyed what I saw of James Garner, Jean Simmons, Suzanne Pleshette and Angela Lansbury tremendously. Then, of course, there is the music... and this gorgeous LP cover.
